Target to Move Away from Using Gender-Based Signs

No More "Boys" or "Girls"

(CNN)Attention Target shoppers: Say goodbye to "girls' building sets" and "boys' bedding."
The big box retailer announced Friday that it will start phasing out gender-based signage in some departments. The shift comes in response to customer feedback that distinguishing between products for girls and boys is unnecessary and maybe even harmful.
Parents and gender equality advocates welcomed the news as a significant step with potential to inspire other retailers.
"This change is a step towards removing gender limitations in childhood, but when one of the world's largest retailers does this, the ripple effect will be significant," author Melissa Atkins Wardy said in her blog, Pigtail Pals & Ballcap Buddies, which promotes gender-neutral toys, apparel and other products for children.

What causes a person to be such a count and makes them feel compelled to bitch about such petty bull shite? I'm equally as pissed at these businesses that bow down to said count. frick this country and the direction that its' heading.

Just messing with you. One SJW got her panties in a wad and started a Twitter cry for help against Target. Target caved.
I hope this woman can sleep better at night now.

at what point did boys being boys and girls being girls become this awful thing? I really wish that one of these big companies would come out in a statement and tell one of these people to frick off. When the person sues, the company just sends the army after them and bankrupts the person over years of dragging out the lawsuit.
I'm so sick of companies just bending over a taking it from a handful of people that just want to be assholes.

OMG THE HORROR. Now little boys everywhere are going to start buying Barbie comforters simply because there isn't a "Boy" sign hanging above the comforter section to properly direct them.

OMG THE HORROR. Gender specific signs prevented this stupid parent from buying boys bedding for her girl or barbies for her boy!

If you think the "whiners" are only concerned about what Target calls their goods you are dumb

Damn we are a sensitive country. Part of the reason I like Trump is that he is blunt.

I laughed at that, too.
"Gender limitations in childhood" - I wasn't aware you couldn't buy something because of your gender.
